Mowsley Slate shows a restrained, all-over small-scale lattice that reads quietly textured rather than boldly patterned. Its pale slate grey ground gives the fabric a cool, tailored feel.

About this fabric

From Ashley Wilde’s Essential Weaves Vol 3, Mowsley Slate is a drape-only fabric woven in 68% Recycle Polyester, 26% Cotton and 6% Polyester. The 145cm width and 326gsm weight give it a substantial curtain cloth handle, while the 4cm by 3cm repeat creates a neat, regular surface. Visually, the colour is a soft, misty slate grey with a gentle tonal contrast that keeps the motif visible without making it heavy. The small repeating trellis-like shape feels crisp and controlled, with the weave adding a subtle matte texture across the whole cloth.

How to use it

Use this cool slate shade for relaxed but polished curtains, especially where you want pattern at close range without a strong colour statement. It sits neatly with white walls, pale oak and deeper graphite or navy accents.

A cool, understated grey that layers easily with pale woods, chalky neutrals and deeper navy accents.

Pairs well with

Mowsley Slate is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
